The crystals of Kinoite, Ruizite, Junitoite, and Gilalite originate from the Christmas Mine in Arizona, USA, a locality renowned for its complex hydrothermal mineralization. These minerals formed under varying pressure and temperature conditions in the mine’s veins, resulting in well-developed crystal aggregates on matrix.
Kinoite and Ruizite are beryllium silicates, Junitoite is a calcium-zinc silicate, and Gilalite is a copper silicate, together representing classic parageneses in oxidized zones of the deposit. Collectors value this flat for its natural crystal habits and documented provenance.
The strong matrix attachment ensures secure handling and attractive display in showcase cases. By combining several rare species, this unique flat makes a valuable addition to systematic mineral collections.
Perfect for mineral enthusiasts seeking authentic material from renowned U.S. mines with high standards for provenance and crystal quality.
